Marcus Rashford (born 31 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
A Manchester United player from the age of seven, he scored two goals on both his first-team debut against Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League in February 2016 and his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He also scored in his first Manchester derby match, his first EFL Cup match and his first UEFA Champions League match. With United, Rashford has so far won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Europa League.

Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong and soon-to-be free agent Christian Eriksen currently top Ten Hag's wish list. Neither player is renowned as being a defensive-minded midfielder, which is what United's supporters believe the club needs most this summer, meaning Fred stands a good chance as continuing as the Reds' deepest midfielder.
